Silent Service Aloha Shirt

reyns-sub-shirt.jpgOne of the two new shirts to Bob’s Aloha shirt collection is this nice print which is a tribute to the United States Navy’s Submarine Service. These beautiful denizens of the deep look really sharp as they are depicted in framed panels on the blue shirt. Click on the thumbnail for a closer look.

This article from Midweek.com came out in August of 2006 when the collection was announced:

Military Service Inspired Aloha Shirts

Reyn Spooner introduces two new military service-inspired aloha shirts: The Silent Service design features the evolution of the U.S. Navy Submarine Service and highlights the USS Bowfin, the 63-year-old submarine now on view at Pearl Harbor. The shirt is available on a blue or khaki background and in pullover or full button front style

Spooner introduced Vintage Propellers at the same time – Bob’s looking for one of those also.

Classic Pontiac “Woody” Station Wagon in 3D

47woody.jpgJust feast your eyes on this beauty! This is a 1947 Pontiac Station Wagon.

The owner did some beautiful restoration on this classic set of wheels. The interior was fully restored with original equipment. The exterior woodwork had been fully restored and polished to a high luster. Original equipment chrome hubcaps and the white sidewall tires were a delight. Everything was highly polished.

Open Lighthouse

The second Saturday of the month, the US Coast Guard and the CG Auxiliary open the gates to the Point Vicente Lighthouse. While we were out running errands today, we stopped and visited the station and I took a photo of this picturesque landmark. Click the picture for the full sized image in the viewer.

Canyon of Death

“Canyon de Muerto,” so named by the Spaniards after on-going conflicts with the Navajo Tribes who once lived here. The Spaniards are gone, but the Díné still dwell in these canyons. Many of the proud Tribe reject the name Navajo since that is the name given to them by the invading Spaniards.

In this panorama, Verna looks down into the canyon, whose floor is a thousand feet down. Click the thumbnail image below to enlarge.

Bright Angel Canyon

bright-angel-canyon.jpg

This is Bright Angel Canyon, as seen from Mather Point, on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Bright Angel extends from the Colorado River to the north and is in the center of this photo. Bright Angel Creek empties into the river straight ahead and down, out of view.

On the right side of Bright Angel, you can see Sumner Butte near the mouth of the canyon, with the higher formations of Brahma Temple and Diva Temple behind and further to the right. On the left side, you can see Sturdevant Point and Johnson Point, with Hiller’s Butte and Buddha Temple to the left of them, all beyond Phantom Creek which empties into Bright Angel Creek on the left.

At the top of Bright Angel Canyon is Bright Angel Spring near the village at the North Rim, about 13 miles away. Visitors to the North Rim get this view from the other end.

This is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. Click on the image for a closer look.
